The invention relates to looms for weaving and more particularly to wide looms for weaving face to face double pile fabrics.

In such looms there is a tendency for considerable Vibrations to be imparted. to the frame of the loom and the object of the present invention is to minimise such vibrations.

According to the invention the picking shaft at each end of the loom instead of being mounted in bearings carried by the sides of the loom is mounted in bearings carried by the bedplate of the loom or by a separate plate secured to the bed plate on which the loom is mounted.

The invention is illustrated in and will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings in which:

Fig. 1 is a side elevation on part of the end of the loom and Fig. 2 is a front elevation thereof.

In the drawings the rocker shaft A which operates the sley sword B is carried in the usual way in bearings c in the side C of the loom supported by the bedplate D.

`Instead of the picking shaft El at each side side of the loom also being mounted in bearings carried by the side C of the frame, it is mounted in bearings F secured to the bed plate D by the bolts ;f.

Instead of the bearings F for the picking shaft E being carried by the bed plate D they may 2 be carried by a separate plate secured to the bed plate D.

By so mounting the picking shafts E vibration of the frame of the loom is reduced to a considerable extent with consequent improvement in weaving.

I claim:

In a loom for weaving, the combination with the loom frame having a slay mounted therein, a picking shaft, and bed plate therefor, of bearings for the said picking shaft secured to said bed plate and solely supporting the picking shaft independently of the loom frame.
